Computer Science Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS)
The Computer Science Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) is an ongoing program in the Department of Computer Science (CS) where distinguished leaders are invited to present lectures to the computing community. Since it began in the Fall of 2000, the DLS has successfully hosted many prominent computer scientists.
